Workshop for Beginning Legal Writing Teachers
The bottom line: Although you should try to focus your students on the learning process,
understand that students have a lot riding on their grades and will be concerned
about grades. Every institution has its own grading norms; make sure your grades and
grading policies are consistent both with the school’s formal policies and any unwritten
grading norms.
